Buckles is a comic strip by David Gilbert about the misadventures of an anthropomorphic naïve dog.
Buckles can display all the charm...of a small child discovering how to find his way through life."
Of course since he is a puppy, issues are more to the point of whether or not to get in the garbage, roll in the mud, or chew up a valuable piece of clothing.
One of Buckles' favorite things to chew up seems to be the remote control to the TV, often ending in a strict lecture from Paul (his owner).
Jill's niece who puts dresses on Buckles and makes him attend her tea parties.
A dog who, because of hip dysplasia, has a sort of wheelchair apparatus providing mobility instead of his hind legs.
Another occasional story is where Scrappy breaks into Paul and Jill's attic and realizes he is lost.
After that, like Buckles, Paul steps back from the harmless garter snake, horrified.
David Gilbert left the publisher and will seek into another printing option for the current and future collections.
